First of all, thank you to
sableheart for providing the raws of the Kokuritsu concert...Watching even just the behind the scenes made me think more of Arashi...
It was just overwhelming, it made me see the hard work of these 5 guys and how serious they are with their work. And if anyone would dare to belittle Arashi because they are idols, this video would make them think otherwise.
It's understandably a difficult job, what they have. Looking cool when in fact you're too damn tired from all the practices, day and night. When you have other jobs to attend to, but you still have to get up early to do recordings. When you're voiceless and can't seem to reach the right pitch just as when you need to. But in the end, because you owe it to the people who appreciates your work, you are able to keep that high level of energy.
Seeing those tired, behind-the-scenes faces and comparing it to their genki characters we see on their tv shows is enough to see how intense they are towards their work.
If there would be one word that would best describe these five, strongly-bonded idols, that would be:
PROFESSIONAL. And damn, they really are.
